Cheap Hotels in Umhlanga

Just north of Durban, Umhlanga is a polished coastal town built around its famous, curving beachfront promenade. The iconic red-and-white lighthouse is a constant landmark, with the warm Indian Ocean waves rolling in just beyond it. People come here for the easy access to excellent swimming beaches, the relaxed yet sophisticated dining along the Oyster Box Hotel's promenade, and the high-end shopping at the Gateway Theatre of Shopping. It’s a place where you can spend your morning on a surfboard and your evening at a fine restaurant overlooking the sea.

This is an ideal spot for families seeking safe beaches and plenty of activities, as well as couples looking for a romantic seaside escape. Business travelers also frequent the area, thanks to its modern conference facilities and proximity to King Shaka International Airport, just a 20-minute drive away.
